Not Your Average Jane

Ok, so in the last week let's see what's happened....

I just got back from Dallas about an hour ago.... Good times there.... Linz drove me up when she went to Ft Worth she dropped me at Megs... Meg's dad made us dinner last night and breakfast this morning... He's such an awesome cook as always.... Last night we went on a CJ hunt and spent about 2 hours trying to find him... Called Muston, Chuck H (who is moving to Ft Worth Wednesday w/ Cara to go Seminary... There's a shocker for ya!), his cell and his parents in San Antonio.... Still no CJ... So we got ready to go out and headed out... In the car my Lauren calls me up and says shes lost linz in downtown Ft Worth... She's in tears and I'm trying to calm her down so I can understand the situation.... She suddenly busts a gut and is like "Gotcha!!". I got sooo peeved with her, even the fact she was drunk (which a drunk Lauren is a very very very funny Lauren) didn't calm me down... I hung up on her and a few minutes later we pulled into LaBare's... Very smoky, 10$ cover, expensive semi decent drinks.... Felt kinda skeezy... A bunch of hairless (almost completely) guys in the equivalent of tighty whities didn't do much for me personally... Most of the guys were overly buff, or not very attractive and lap dances cost 20$.... The waiters were cuter but slimeballs.... I got an ice cream (rainbow popsicle) from the 'Ice Cream Man' also the birthday boy, Jamie... :0) He was a cutie and the most normal looking stripper there... We left at like 230 after taking a pic (10$) with the dancers.... I had a sprite and a kamikaze and I was done... Thats just sad how low my tolerance is now... Question, what makes a guy decide to be a stripper??? There was one guy who reminded me of my cousin, Gary a few years ago, long stringy hair, cowboy hat, and a gut.... EW EW EW EW... Another one reminded me of my boys, blond, built, and his get up/gimmick was being a surfer boy... I tried not to bust a gut when he came out in his wetsuit and surf board, and I so wanted to go call the guys and tell em.... There was another guy who was also a hottie and reminded me of one of the covers of one of my romance novels, who did a Crow/musician type character face make up and all... Anyway so we get back to Meg's about 3 or so and Mel and I fall into bed and Heather was violently ill (she was just that drunk.... ) Kris took care of her and I think Meg went to bed I'm not sure, since i was out like a light.... So Mr Ball made us waffle for breakfast and then we went and watched movies most of the afternoon... Linz came and got me at like 3ish and we headed back to Houston and now here I am....
B4 yesterday.... I still have car drama.... The insurance says the problem is with Toyota and they someone there screwed something in too tight or not tight enough.... The rental car didn't work out... They ran my cards (debit and credit) like 4 times and neither worked... Later that night I used it at the grocery store and guess what? NOOOO PROBLEMS AT ALLL!!!!! Stoopid Hertz and their stoopid machines.... I didn't even know if I was going to Dallas or not till Friday night when Linz offered to take me... Saw 2brothers.... tried to go to the notebook but they were sold out half an hour b4 the show even started..... I took Linz out for her bday lunch and we went shopping on Thursday and then Mike took her to Cheesecake factory for dinner... She went to Ft Worth to celebrate with Lauren... And they had a ball.... Even though they did go to bed at like 1...
Mom got off to France all right... Finally after like hours of delays becuz of the rain she's finally gone... Whoo hoo!!! Anyway more rain is expected this week... I'm goin either out to lunch with Nat or to a movie with her and to Katy to see how to take care of the dogs and the house since I start doing that Thursday till she gets back from Cali.... W told me all about the wedding last Sunday and boy have I got some blackmail material for some very good friends of mine.... hehehehehe..... Oh, yea, turns out the X had strep... Smarty pants went ahead and went to the wedding and had a good time and even got drunk... Reallllll intelligent move right there.... Anywho I need to finish unpacking so yeah laters and stuff....

Ok, completely serious post here..... No boy drama, no music stuff.... Straight up serious shit... And beware it may be a bit disturbing to a few people.... Pretty much an R rating for all the little kiddies, or maybe NC 17....
Anyway this guy I know on GW is going through something huge and majorly traumatic and just plain mind blowing.... He's depressed. Not just that little bit down or got the blues but out and out suffering from depression so bad you don't wanna get out of bed... That got me thinking about something I haven't thought about in years... I guess I sort of choose NOT to think about it because of the awesomeness that is me now... :0) (no problem with humbleness here, huh? :0) ) Ok, not many people that know me now know that I've been through my own up close and personal bout with depression... I didn't do the medications, though some thought I should.... I was in high school and nothing seemed to be going my way... I got in a funk that slowly developed into my not wanting to go out of the house, I had the world's worst time getting out of bed even... It was like this dark pit that kept sucking me down... I did nothing but cry it seems for months... Someone yelled at me, I cried, someone smiled at me, I cried.... It didn't matter what was said, even being looked at wrong I burst into tears.... I had thoughts of suicide.... I was almost obsessed with them... I was convinced no one loved me, not even my own mother.... If it wasn't for my boys I don't know what I would have done.... I'm convinced if they hadn't been there I wouldn't be alive... They literally saved my life.... They all took turns calling me and coming by the house... Taking me out to the beachhouse for long weekends..... And I didn't have to be nice or polite... I was actually a huge bitch and they didn't care.... You know the phrase, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger? I think this applies to me and my relationship with my boys... If they hadn't have called me and let me be a rude bitch and come around when I had run all my other friends off and not only put up with me but drag me out and force me to have interaction with the world as a whole... Later on a shrink would say she thought I recovered because I had come to terms with my fathers death (4 years b4), I say its all because of these guys I not only prospered but that I lived period. They know how I feel cuz I tell em I love em but I don't think they realize how grateful I am to them and will always be. Depression isn't something to be laughed at or taken lightly. It can be life threatening, emotionally distraught, and physically debilitating disease.... I'll write about the wedding Sunday tommorrow or the next day, I'm drained now.... Laters.

Ok, I'm not as nearly freaked out about today as I was last night... I've had a few friends to 'talk me down' so to speak... I did crash at like 1030 though which I can't ever recall doing and I got up at like 545 (BEFORE THE SUN CAME UP!!!). W called about half an hour ago... He was on his way to the wedding... He actually invited me to go with him (he said to shock the hell out of 'our' ex but I think he just wanted to talk to me completely alone about something.... That and his girlfriend had a family emergency.). I told him about the test and he got me to calm down a lot, though I am starting to get a headache, not a good sign... After the test is over I think I'm coming home and taking a name... Maybe tonight I'll go see the Terminal with the boys... Oops time to go wake mom up... Done... Anyway when I was talking to W and I told him when I got married he'd be the best man regardless of the groom and he told me the ex had said the same thing... Kinda funny since he's the ex's best friend and I'm the ex's exgirlfriend.... You're not supposed to be friends with your ex's friends but heck what can I say? I buck convention. :0) Then again I'm also still kinda sorta friends with the ex too so I guess I'm just breaking ALL the rules.... :0) Actaully I've tried to stay friends with most of my exes, only one or 2 I have no idea where they are (One's in the Navy somewhere and another just dissappeared into thin air - though I think he moved back to Dallas). Oh, back to the best man thing for a sec, W told me the ex had said the same thing.... For some reason he's been mentioning him alot, either that or I'm just paranoid... Oh well who knows, it'll all work it self out in the end...
Linz is floating the Comal today with her boyfriend and some of his friends she invited me but I have this test so I can't go... I think its just the Guad that's being a bitch this weekend... Least I hope so... Anyway I'm off to review for a few more minutes and then go take this damn test... Laters!

Man, I so would have won that bet.... That is if I'd been betting... :0) But I know better... Or something. I was right about him... So I'm not too dissappointed, not like I can afford to get sick anyway... He called me on his way home this morning and I'm hoping maybe his mom has more luck getting through to him than I have....
In other news, STILL no progress with my car... Insurance is still trying to get its head out of its ass and help to to get it fixed...
Didn't have lunch with B today, he had a lunch meeting sprung on him and so I wound up having nachos at home...
Most of today was spent studying... And studying some more.... This test in the morning is really starting to freak me out... It seems like no matter how much I study I'm never gonna be ready.... I drove downtown tonight to try to find U of H Downtown and I wound up driving around for like half an hour... Came home and mom volunteered just to drop me off in the morning... I was all about that! So all I have to worry about is finding the right building... Geez like I need to freak out any more than I am....
Oh, funny story from last night (not so funny at the time) mom was being all overprotective and stuff last night... Like she hasn't been in years and years... Like back when I first started telling her where I was going when I went to see JP play at Fitz's back in like 98.... She called me on my cell at like 11 asking when I'd be home... Lucky for her I was about to leave anyway and then b4 she hangs up shes like make sure you get someone to walk to your car.... I'm like umm kay sure... Never had to b4 and didn't plan to start (and succeeded). I've never felt unsafe at the Firehouse, a plethra of other things but never unsafe.... So I get home at like 1130 and her light's on and I go into say good night and she's out like a light, she'd tried to stay up and wait for me!!!! What the heck?!?!
Yeah I thought it was cute and sweet but rather annoying all at the same time... I crashed at like 1230 last night and I had the world's hardest time falling asleep... Tossed and turned and woke up like every hour... So of course when I get a text message from Meg at 730 I'm awakened out of a deep sleep the best I've had all night long.... Dammit. So I finally gave up even trying about 1000.... Mom's yelled at me twice today... Once about money and another time about being unemployed... Personally I think she just needs to get laid and get off my case.... I've told her b4 I'm looking, but no one seems to be looking for me... And I am looking I have at least 6 applications out and numerous phone calls made and on Monday I'm going to Highland Village and the shopping center on Silber and I 10.... If worse comes to worst I'll try the Galleria... But I really don't want to cuz I can't imagine spending more than a few hours there at a time let alone a full day??? Umm, I'd prefer not to thank you very much..... Anyway its back to studying (fun fun fun I tell ya!!! Or something....) Laters!

ok, 2nd post of the day... Another quickie... Went to the Firehouse, the boys tried to surprise me at the Firehouse, and they wound up going back to Kemah without seeing me.... Matt was good, not a big crowd but I kept nodding off for some reason... I tried caffeine but that didn't work... So here I am home b4 midnight, sad, huh? I left a message on B2's voice mail for him to call me b4 he leaves town in the morning but I don't think he will cuz he fears either getting a lecture (which he will anyway) or giving me what he has.... So we'll see how it goes... B and I are going out to lunch 2morrow... Study break for me, lunchtime for him... :0) Still not sure where... But most of the day will be spent studying so it has to be quick... 2morrow night I'm probably studying some more... The test is Saturday at 8 am at the U of H downtown and I have till 1 to finish it, and I can use a 4 function calculator PLUS I've had a tutor twice this week to help me refresh my memory on some stuff so it shouldn't be nearly as bad as it was b4.... Also part of the reason I might have been so tired is that I woke up earlier than usual (Ok, so 830 isnt really early, but it sure seemed like it after a night of tossing and turning...) to watch Jesse James (sigh) on Regis and Kelly.... He was on some other talk show earlier this week too (Leno I think) and he's single again!!!! :0) And again my Florence Nightengale complex was activated by him too since he had a little crash in a car and had messed up his leg, his nose, his ribs and he had a black eye... Poor baby... Anyway, needless to say I'm in lust again.... Thats about it for now... Laters!

Oh, my, God!!! That stupid, idiotic, moronic fool of a man is just beyond all my comprehension!!! What is normal when you begin to come down with a highly contagious disease? Bedrest, and lots of fluids right? No no not for this idiot... He has to go and expose himself to other people and vice versa tonight.... I told him he oughta cancel or at least postpone till he felt better but does he listen to me? Noooo of course not... I understand people are depending on him but he needs to take it easy for a few days so he doesn't get sicker and he doesn't make people sick... And it kills me cuz I can't go there and take care of him... Damn Florence Nightengale response of mine.... Least after tommorrow he's off for a few days and hopefully he'll take good care of himself... Though knowing him the way I do, he won't... Stoopid man... Ok, enough with the raving for now... I just had to get that out...
I'll post more later since I have to go finish getting ready to go see Matt play tonight... Should be a good time. Forgot about ol' stoopid head and the TASP on Saturday and just relax for a few hours.... Laters!

I'm sooooooo bored...... Somebody entertain me dammit!!! I don't have anything to do for another hour or so when I start to get ready to go out tonight, but for that one hour I have nothing planned, nothing to do and no motivation to even try.... I'm actually bored enough to have calculated the amount of time in the past week or so I've spent shopping... Almost 15.... Bewteen the Galleria, Highland Village, Steinmart, back to the Galleria and Highland Village (again)... Thats alot of hours logged in retail, just for shopping!!! Wednesday, Thursday, AND Friday were all spent just shopping.... And only on ONE of those days did I even buy ANYTHING....
Anyway, so aside from shopping, with Nathan, by myself (when I bought everything) and then with mom I've been at the Park and at home and jobhunting.... No grades yet, the car's not fixed and the insurance chick still doesn't know whats going on.... So I have to call school and insurance again on Monday and try to figure all that out... Go to Highland Village and up the street to the shops there and apply for jobs on Monday too... Aye, I'm gonna be busy Monday!!! I still at some point have to organize the garage like mom wants me to, so that all my stuff doesn't look all cluttered and everything... Speaking of that Reynosa is driving me NUTS!!! I can't ever spend so much time with her ever again, she starts the nagging and won't stop!!! And she's only been back in town like 2 days!!!! The boys told me they've started reading this thing too whenever they get the chance so quick shout outs to them.... B, Nate, Sean, Tomas, Sup, yall? :0)
Last night I was going to go to Django but I had the worlds worst headache so I didn't... Bleu and Matt are both playing the same night across town from each otehr next week so I have to decide which to go to.... Cooder Graw's playing at the Firehouse at the end of the month so I gots to go there.... We're going to PF Changs to celebrate Linz's B day tonight since mom'll be in France for the actaul day her youngest turns 21.... I need to call Nat back again, she called earlier and I called her back but she hasn't called me back so I should call her back again.... Phone tag can be sooo much fun.... :0)
(This bit done around midnight Saturday night....) I forgot some stuff earlier and some other stuff has happened since.... I crashed in Kemah (as in slept not literally!!!) Tuesday night at B's place, it was like old times just me and my boys.... Guitars, smoke and beer.... And me with a tamborine.... Thats right, ladies and gentlemen my hidden talent, I can play the tamborine!!!! :0) It was pure greatness.... We've all been hanging out alot lately, catching up and that sort of thing... Since mom's been out of town they've seen the new place and hung out here, since we have digital cable... :0) Gawd I've missed having them around....
Went to Walgreens earlier and I realized something.... I've gotten really bad about my mutterings of doable and not doable.... People are starting to notice and look at me strangely (not that they didnt b4....).... Went to Blockbuster and got the Robin Williams on Broadway DVD (pretty funny shit), almost hit on a guy when his girlfriend was standing right there.... Not cool at all... Mom took us to PF Changs for LInz's Bday... The food wasn't that great but the atmosphere was nice...
After that I came home and W called.... We wound up at Starbucks, pretty much almost closed the joint down... We haven't hung out in a week or two so it was definately nice... Though he seemed to be in the mood to extole the virtues of his best friend and ex roomie, my last ex boyfriend... I don't really know why... B2 and I talk all the time... W didn't tell me anything I didn't already know... Well except for the whole B2 listening talk radio bit.... That I had no clue on... Made me feel a bit guilty for making him listen to my stuff constantly... Then I remembered our tastes in music were similar (he even got me into a few bands I didn't know about) and that feeling quickly went away.... Though when I got home I felt kinda sad since I know things will never really be the same, B2 and I dating and all of us hanging out and stuff... Those were good times, dammit... But I'm also happier single the majority of the time than when we were together so I think that this is the best way for both of us... Irregardless of what he says about his break up with Emily or Andrea or whatever her name was that he just broke up with.....
Ok, ok, enough with the guy drama.... On to cool stuff... I was in Harold Powell trying on clothes and Heaven by Los Lonely Boys comes on.... Very cool. Then this morning I was eating breakfast and the MTV awards show from the other night was on and during Best Onscreen Nominees when they announced Johhny Depp and Orlando Bloom as nominees, they played the instrumental part at the very beginning... Also very cool.
Question.... Is there a proper way to hit on a guy at the park? A protocol if you will.... Cuz I'm kind of at a lose when I want to flirt with a guy, its kinda hard when you're just passing each other by... Should you stalk them till they stop? ;0) Stop when they stop for water, etc? Flirt in motion? Throw phone numbers at them? Any suggestions, any at all? Email em :sunnychic78@yahoo.com!
Oh speaking of email... The last few days whenever I've gotten on my Hotmail it has a little link you can click for a little quiz that askes "Are You An Average Guy?" Cracks me up every time I see it....
Oh, I do have a musician crush again (aside from B2 who I will proably always have a crush on....), most people on GW will probably already know jus tby the way I talk about him, but since I saw him last weekend, I've been a bit ga ga... Horrible I know... I have not a shot in hell but its still fun to think about... :0)
Anyway thats about it for now... Laters!

First off shout out... Kevin, just cuz he's dork and he told me he wanted one or else... (Love ya Pluto!! :0) )
On the the show... I hate rain... It seems like its done nothing BUT rain since last night and its expected to continue for the rest of the week... Lovely... Mom told me she's definitely coming back Thursday night so I have to go out to Hobby to pick her up at about 8 ish... Got my Cingular bill today... 123 $'s... WTF?!?!? They're saying I went over like 151 minutes and charging me 41 cents a minute... They're sending me a detailed bill so I can dispute whatever I feel I need to... All this rain has made me feel really sorta blah... So I haven't really gotten much done... Yesterday I went to the grocery store and Barnes and Noble and I went to Cactus for a few while I was over there... Ordered some books for mom (and I've been driving her car - with her permission)... Made some calls... According to the insurance chick its all the fault of the guy in Arkansas so she has to get ahold of him to fix it... She said it should be completely resolved by Friday... Good thing I have mom's car to drive, mine drives me nuts after like 5 minutes of driving it... Went to the park for a short walk, since the rain looked imminent. I discovered I have 2 bad hanits there... One I sing out loud along with my CD... Two I tend to mutter 'doable' or 'not doable' under my breath when passing guys.... Whether they're with friends, by themselves, with girls it doesn't matter, I still say it... I really need to stop cuz one day someone's gonna call me on it and I'm gonna have to brazen my way out of it or get my ass kicked.... Could turn out good on the other hand, but I'm trying to see all the possible outcomes here.... So if you're from Houston and at Memorial Park and you see a chick in a UT shirt with a CD player muttering under her breath... Thats me.... :0) I'm not crazy, just trying to keep myself entertained.... :0)
Anywho today... Went to Houston Shoe Hospital and got my sandals (they fixed them, yah!!) and then went to Walgreens to pick up some stuff I forgot at the grocery store... I was gonna go to the Galleria but traffic was hell and I just wasn't in the mood... Pretty amazing I know... Me not in the mood to shop... Its a Kodak moment... :0) Sean and the guys just called me from Kemah and we'll probably hang out tonight... I need to call Natalie too since Scott left last week... Anywho thats bout it for now... Laters.

Quick... Someone remind me exactly how bad musicians are to date!!!! I fell in love like 5 or 6 times last night... And some random guy told me he loved me... I'm like thats nice, dear, now let me by... Some other dude kept trying to feel me up... Yeah, I think not, dork... And some chick kept touching my ass... No clue what THAT was about... Oh, yeah did I mention I was at the Firehouse? This isn't just me rambling about weirdos... Its me rambling about weirdos at the Firehouse... :0) The Lost Trailers played and I fell in love with their music (which I happen to be jamming to now...) and them... Ryder seems to be the sort of guy I used to date and Stokes was just cool like that... Manny I didn't get to talk to, and Andrew (I think is his name - the bassist) talked to me for a few and he was an all right guy... The drummer I never saw... I got a tshirt and both CDs... Pretty much spent everything but like 2 dollars last night... For once I didn't feel retarded dancing since everyone else was too... Always nice. :0) Honeybrowne played next and Fred is still a cutie patootie... Some guy behind me was shouting that he had a nice ass... The chick in front of me actually slapped it.. Some funny shit there... Alex... There are not enough words to describe Alex... Awesome guitarist, sweetie, cutie pie... Thats a nice start.... The other two guys were new since the last time I'd seen them (its been a few years)... Clay got up for a couple of songs and I fell in love yet again... Damn, that boy's only gotten better looking and sounding... how could he? But I heard my song (texas angel) so I'm happy... A couple of girls beside me were like rating how hot each of the band members were I was trying not to laugh... Bewteen bands I was outside talking to Becca and 4 kids (looked underage) were hauled outside by the guy I think was the owner and lectured and kicked out, I think they hadn't paid or something.... I wasn't feeling too great so I left and went to house of pies with Sean and the boys... Came home at like 130 or so and immediately got freaked out... The TV downstairs was on the home shopping network and I pushed last and it went to GAC, neither channel that I had had the TV on earlier in the day and Mom had been gone since just after lunch so it couldn't have been here... The alarm wasn't going off or anything so I'm just extremely weirded out... I wound up crashing at Linz's down the street... Came back and started my laundry... I need to shower and stuff so I can go to the Galleria like I DIDN'T do yesterday.... I also need to go to Academy to look for some new running shorts and sports bras.... I need at least one cute outfit and then I'll do the retail job hunt manana and see how that goes... Thats really all thats going on here... Laters!

Ok, I had this really weird ass dream last night... Somehow the movies King Kong and Jaws meshed in this particular dream... And Chris Cagle was there... (I'm sure Lavinia will appriciate that fact - and that he sang Breath In Breath out accapella.) I don't remember much of the details except Chris Cagle and I were running from King Kong and jumped into a harbor filled with boats... Enter Jaws... We hide out in one of the boats and from there.... Just use your imagination.... ;0) Anyway very strange dream all in all...
So yeah, my life... Lets see went to the Park again yesterday (with Linz this time) and it was hot as ballz... Came home, finished reading Harry Potter (the 3rd one) and went to see the movie last night with Mom and Linz.... Damn good movie by the way... Some of the stuff if out of order, and a few major details are missing but there's only so much you can stuff into 2 hours and 19 minutes.... Came home, went and hung out with Sean, who got into town yesterday afternoon... Came home about 1 or 2 and went to bed... In an hour or so I'm taking mom to the airport so she can go to Florida... After that I'm either going to walk at the park or the Galleria.... Tonight is Lost Trailers/Honeybrowne at the Firehouse, so if you're looking for me, you know where to find me! :0) I didn't make it to Doug's thing Thursday, I was going to, but I got caught up in something else and I was so unmotivated to go out... Thats about it for now... Laters....

So I put my hand on the doorknob fully intending to go to the park for a lap or 2 and its been thundering and lightening quite a bit the last few hours.... But the moment, the EXACT moment I put my hand on the doorknob, the sky lets loose with torrents of rain! Sure walking in the rain can be fun, but thunder and lightening too? Thanks, but no thanks.... I don't wanna die b4 I hit 26! :0)
Anywho... Today I spent most of my afternoon shopping... Highland village and River Oaks village to be precise... Mainly it was trying to gauge what would go well with what and not have to do a shit load of returns (ala Lindsay)... That and the fact I wasn't in the mood to try anything on.... I'm going to the Galleria 2morrow to do some more looking... Mainly at Banana and Betsy Johnson I think... If I see something in a window I won't turn down a trip inside whatever store it is...
Yesterday I also spent shopping and running errands... I'm fairly certain I went to almost every store on Westheimer between here and Chimney Rock... I know I didn't but it sure felt like it...
Let's see what else... I've been really health conscious this last week... Watching what I eat and shit... Every night but tonight I've walked for an hour... Sunday up Allen Parkway with Mom (with a pause to watch the dogs play in the fountain) and every other night at the Park... Night b4 last I was gonna flirt with this one guy who started flirting with me, but my mom was there and exasperating me with a lecture... So I didn't get the chance to.... Oh, well I'll live I'm going to see Moreland at the Firehouse tonight so I have to go get ready... Laters!
